Dr. Haesun Moon, Michael Bungay Stanier, and Christian van Nieuwerburgh

What is the purpose of coaching?

In this episode, Jim Knight reunites with Dr. Haesun Moon, Michael Bungay Stanier, and Dr. Christian van Nieuwerburgh to explore this fundamental question. Together, they examine coaching's role in fostering awareness, enabling real change, and building authentic human connection.

The conversation addresses the power of curiosity over advice, the delicate balance between support and autonomy, and how cultural context shapes the coaching relationship. Our guests share practical insights on leading conversations that empower rather than prescribe and why resisting the urge to solve problems is one of the most important things a coach can do.

At its core, coaching is a co-creative process rooted in respect, empowerment, and the client's own journey. This episode will challenge how you think about your role as a coach.
